Rodina

Rodina is a Russian nationalist and conservative political party that was founded in 1998 as the Party of Russian Regions. The party was founded as a coalition of 30 nationalist and left-wing groups, and its far-right ideology combined nationalism and interventionism. The party was accused of being a creation of United Russia leader Vladimir Putin to leech support from the communist Communist Party of the Russian Federation and from the nationalist National Bolshevik Party, and the party was responsible for a 27 January 2005 petition that demanded for all Jewish organizations to be banned. From 2005 to 2012, Rodina was a banned party, but it was reinstated in 2012 with Aleksey Zhuravlyov as its leader.
